“We need a thorough top to bottom revision of American policy in Bosnia. We have to recognize that there are three reasons for the Clinton administration failure in that country. First, the Clinton administration allowed the United Nations to replace the United States as the leading institution in foreign policy, and the United Nations has failed in Bosnia. Second, the Clinton administration has attempted again and again to appease an aggressor. The Reagan-Bush policy of peace through strength has been replaced by a Clinton policy of failure through appeasement. Third, the Clinton administration is now repeating the worst mistakes of Lyndon Johnson in micromanaging and misusing the U.S. military. For a great power to use two airplanes with three out of four bombs failing to work is simply pathetic. The Clinton administration seems addicted to exaggerating and romanticizing the role of the United Nations. This addiction is dangerous because it misinforms the American people, and it leads people around the world to place a false hope that the United Nations will protect them.”
